Worst ever excuse for a poor performance

[Articulateboxin]

Ruiz's comments about him not training etc annoyed me as I really dislike seeing fighters making excuses, then quickly following up with "but no excuses".

I've listed the ones I remember as being the most ridiculous and I guess Andy's isn't really so bad in hindsight.

David Haye - I broke my toe!
Wlad Klitschko - They poisoned me!
Deontay Wilder - I broke my arm & My ringwalk outfit was too heavy
Mike Tyson - I broke my back! (Tyson actually won his fight easily)
Victor Ortiz - I don't deserve this punishment!
Robin Reid - The princess died!
Manny Pacquiao - My shoulder has problems!

Ruiz because his excuse was not being professional, I mean coming in over 20 stones for the biggest fight in your life, pathetic.

Mike Tyson's 'excuse' came after a one round KO as far as I remember Hardly a 'poor' performance.

[Jax teller]

Wilders 100 after the Fury fight, he didn't even lose.

Fury was covered in baby oil
The ref did a slow count
I broke my arm, despite saying he accepted the AJ fight for said dates he broke his arm.
Could only practice jabbing (barely threw jabs)
Too light
Too much pressure first PPV
Had a cold
Concerned with own power
Fury much bigger
I was rushing

I was pregnant
It wasn't me it was the Bronze bummer

Mike Tyson's 'excuse' came after a one round KO as far as I remember Hardly a 'poor' performance.

Yes I remember the interview, I think he said he was mourning his friend or something too.

I'm a little limited for character space in a title but fair, I should have said "poor performance and/or reasons for not training properly"

[Robbie Barrett]

Why isn't Pacquiao's shoulder on?

[Clegg]

Robin Reid used the excuse that he was too affected by Princess Diana dying to fight at 100%

[Articulateboxin]

Why isn't Pacquiao's shoulder on?

It wasn't a definitive list, I was hoping for more I'll add this one!

The good old Quinton "I loss because I didn't train seriously excuse" Jackson.

Haye's was the worst because it was his little pinky toe, he tried to claim he couldn't punch properly because of it.
